Exams And A Blog Update

Exams And A Blog Update 

So this is just a short post to let you know what is going to be going on on Penney Chic over the next month and a bit. Tomorrow marks the first day of my exams, and it's the 13th so that's a great start. But how cute are all my family for sending me these good luck cards? I also got some money and some chocolate but they are both already gone!

Anyway, over the last few months school has been cranking up the pressure but through a mix of revision and mocks and homework I like to think that I have managed to stay pretty active on my blog. However with exams actually starting I've decided that everything else needs to take a bit of a backseat. I haven't really had a social life for a while and I barely even have time to watch TV!

So this is just a post to apologise in advance for not being very active over the next few weeks. Lately I've been trying to post every other day but now I recon it is going to be more like once or twice a week. I have a long and ever growing list of post ideas and I have lots of exciting thing this summer to write about such as my leavers ball, girlie holiday to Majorca, Paris with my boyfriend, Cornwall with my family and Devon with my best friend, and of course my 18th birthday at the end of summer!

I know I'm a pretty new blog with not very many readers so this isn't really the best time to be going on a bit of a blog break or not posting as much. But I just wanted to thank everyone that does read and comment on my blog, it really means a lot. And I hope that you guys can wait for me to get my exams over with so I can get back to blogging as much as I would like. Thank you xx

P.S. Good luck to anyone else who also has exams coming up :)

A Little Shopping Trip...

A Little Shopping Trip...

Oops! So this all happened on my so called little break from revision! My first stop was at the Body Shop as I wanted to pick up the same vitamin e moisturiser that I tried not that long ago and get the night cream from the same range. But there was a three for two offer on skincare and makeup which basically meant that I got to pick something else up for free! So my love for face masks drew me to the vitamin e mask in this range. I've given it one go last night and so far so good, but expect a fully review coming shortly when I've given it a few good tries. 

I had a list when I went into Boots of four things that I needed; bio oil, nose strips, Aussie 3 minute miracle and Herbal Essences hair mask. So saying that I actually did okay and the only other Beauty product that I picked up was the Garnier micellar cleansing water which I have never tried before but I have heard a lot about it and wanted to give it a go. So keep an eye on the blog for a post on my first impressions of that coming soon. And being on of the very few people who have never tried Bioderma I won't have a high end product to compare it to! 

So all was going pretty well until I saw all the signs for a 3 for 2 on all makeup. Why do shops do this?! I don't know if anyone else does this but I watch a lot of beauty and makeup videos on YouTube and read a lot of blogs. And whenever I see a product that I like the look of or really want to try I write it down on a list on my phone, which is dangerous really as then I think I need it. Sometimes I get to Boots and the colour isn't what it looked like on the screen so I don't buy it. But most of the time when I have enough money I will pick it up. I've have heard so much about these Rimmel lipsticks and this colour looked gorgeous so I picked that one up. Then also I had had my eye for a while on this Boujois bronzing primer as with summer coming and me not really have seen any sun I starting to feel the need to fake it a bit more! Finally to complete my 3 for 2 I picked up this really simple matte brown shade for L'Oreal as it will be so versatile and I think it will just be one that I can wear everyday.

If you'd looked carefully at the first picture you might now be wondering if I'm going to talk about what's in the Accessorize bag. Well it's something wanted for such a long time and when I saw this in the shop just over a month ago it was perfect and since then I have just been saving up for it. But you're going to have to wait for a post all about what's in the Accessorize bag coming up in the next few days!

Obsessed With My Elephant Ring

Obsessed With My Elephant Ring

This is my new elephant ring! A little ring of tiny silver elephants! Does it get much cuter than that?! I saw this ring a couple of weeks ago when I went up to Camden Market with my boyfriend. And if you have never been then I couldn't recommend it more. It was one of the best days out that we have had in London, even though it rained and the food choice is just out of this world, literally...food stalls from all over the world are there!

Anyway, this is just one of those products that you see and you didn't even know you needed or that it even existed but suddenly you can't go home without it in your hand (or on your finger). This is just a quick post on my most recent jewellery purchase which I couldn't be more happy with. I've been wearing it everyday since and have received so many compliments about how cute and unusual it is. I think this is perfect for summer and the plain silver means it can still go with everything.

So if you wanted to get one similar to mine here are a few that I have found below for you on Etsy:

Rimmel Matte BB Cream 9-in-1

Rimmel Matte BB Cream 9-in-1

I've never been one for a heavy foundation, in fact I've never bought a foundation at all! One day... But a couple of years or so ago when I started getting more into makeup and wearing skin makeup BB creams were right up my street. I wanted something to cover but not cake and that is exactly what they offer. 

I've wanted to talk about this BB cream for a while but haven't got round to it until now. Firstly I don't have oily skin and if anything my skin is more combination/dry so I think calling this product matte is a bit misleading. I picked this up about 4 months ago now as needed a new BB cream, like Rimmel as a brand and this one looked good (on the adverts, but hey!). As soon as I used it I was just amazed. It covered everything that I wanted to be covered, all my blemishes and uneven skin, but it did look cakey, which surprised me as being "matte" I had half expected it too. The lasting power of this is also really great and I don't think I can say enough good things about it. I wear it to school everyday and to parties and dinners out in the evening and it works for both without making me break out. 

The only thing that I could fault though is the shade range. I wouldn't say that I am particularly pale but the light shade is the perfect colour for me, and normally I am more of a medium. So if you are very pale then maybe this is not the right product for you. But apart from that even if you have dry skin and you feel like putting a matte product on your face would be a bad idea I would really recommend you give this ago. I have a little collection of these not just in case it runs out so I will never ave to go without it!
